umount volume how is ispcp affected?

[robbo007]

Hello all,

I have /var mounted on a separate disk and need to bring it offline to fsck with a umount.

Which ispcp services do I need to manually stop? I don't want to cause and corruption on the database.

Thanks,

Rob

You can check which programs are using this partition by simply issuing:

Code:

lsof /var

Then, these are the services that you need to stop prior to unmounting the device (linux won't let you unmount it unless you stop them anyways...).

Thanks. There's a shit load of services running. doh! Is there an easier way get the volume ready for a fsck.ext3 ?

I'm afraid that this is your only option. That's why ext4's online fsck's capability has been hyped so much...
